Can you solve the fish riddle? - Steve Wyborney

As the cargo director on the maiden voyage of the S.S. Buoyant, you’ve agreed to transport several tanks containing the last specimens of an endangered fish species to their new aquarium. Unfortunately, the boat is battered by a fierce storm, throwing your precious cargo overboard. Can you get the fish to safety and save the day? Steve Wyborney shows how.

To be honest after all that information I didn't even know what the question was

[muenk]

Narrator:Unfortunately your sonar malfunctioned
Me: Of course it did....

"Hurry, the fate of an entire species depends on you"
Pause button: allow me to introduce myself

Me: just trying to look at some riddles stress free
TedEd: THE FATE OF AN ENTIRE SPECIES IS ON YOUR HANDS

[vizualeditr]

- Hits storm.
- Loses the cargo.
- Rare fish species chance of going extinct by sharks.
- information for the quantity of fish tanks gets lost.
- Only enough fuel for 1 trip to the ocean floor.
- Sonar malfunctions.
- Poor informitive shipping notes.
- There is a timelimit to solve the problem.
- You have to do this all by yourself while It's still storming.

4:18 "you've saved the species"
i didnt do shit

[zacharygaming]

Ted-Ed: Hurry, the tanks won’t withstand anymore pressure

Dude: Hold up just got to make a table real quick

Step 1: Confirm that the fish have green eyes

Step 2: Ask the sharks to leave.

[Rippleskip]

good job. but then one of them got stolen by a german in a green house

[sansamman]

then the sharks starve and the sharks become endangered

[sophiesmith]

"There are no other organisms..."

Dang those sharks really do be hungry

[shrimpchimp]

If no-one knew how many fish there actually were, couldn’t you just collect, say, half the fish and lie that those were all the fish?

The first riddle that I solved on my own!! Can't be prouder

[whatsthereinaname-shakespe]

Guys i solved it on my own... My first.... But i used a different method... it's algebraic
.
.
Let total no of fishes in each aquarium be f...
Than 2+4f+4+2f+x+yf= 50
where x and y r the no of sharks and no of tanks respectively
.
(6+y)f=44-x
f=44-x/6+y
Now f can't be a fraction, it can only be a whole no
And
x+6≤7 and x can't be 2and 4, only possible values r 1, 3, 5 and 6
Subtracting by 1 and 3 gives us a prime no so impossible and by 6 gives us 38 as numerator which has to be divided by 6+y so y should be equal to 13 which is not possible.. leaving us only with 5
Substituting this value we can get
.
.
44-5/6+7=3
Hence no of fish in each tank = 3 and total tanks in sector gamma is 7 and shark=5
.
Ps:- I couldn't resist myself sharing my solution and it's also the first comment i wrote... hope it doesn't goes unnoticed.

plot twist: you spent so much time doing the table that the fuel ran out for the sub

[pranavmullappalli]

I just watch these without even knowing what the heck im doing. his voice and the animations are satisfying

[falthought]

"Not one can be lost"
German in the green house: Hehehe.

This is one of the most convoluted scenarios I have ever seen.
